Currently there are three disparate systems operating in the business and by implementing IFS Applications, the company will integrate operations and introduce more efficient business management practices. “Implementing IFS Applications will strengthen performance of our production facility and nationwide after-sales service stations throughout Thailand,” says Mr. Oteki.
The first step is to have procurement and production processes streamlined, followed by linking customer service centers around the country. “Ultimately this will assist us in expanding operations to countries like Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar, as well as minimizing costs and helping us becomes more efficient. Implementing a unified ERP system is critical to our business growth and success,” says Mr. Oteki.
Tatsuno Engineering & Service will implement IFS Applications 8 to capture the powerful features for supply chain management, manufacturing, service management, and finance. “We anticipate by implementing IFS Applications will help us reduce costs, save time and make better decisions, affording us more time to plan for future growth in neighbouring countries,” says Mr. Oteki.
